A. Susan Carleo
Trustee Field indicated that Dr. Yasmin Delahoussaye was not able to attend today’s Committee meeting and that
Mr. Felicito Cajayon was present on her behalf.
Dr. A. Susan Carleo explained that in 2008 the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges
(ACCJC) required that the colleges submit an Annual Financial Report, which triggered an investigation of Los
Angeles Valley College’s deficit status of the following three fiscal years 2008-09, 2009-10, and 2010-2011. She indicated that the ACCJC requested that Los Angeles Valley College (LAVC) submit a Special Report addressing the reasons the deficit continued for three years and what actions were taken to correct the issue.
Dr. Carleo indicated that the Special Report will be finalized during the week of March 25, 2013 and transmitted electronically to the ACCJC on April 1, 2013.
Chancellor LaVista distributed and discussed a document entitled “Review of the Accreditation Process” with respect to the timeline of events from March 11-14, 2013 through July 1-2, 2013 related to the ACCJC actions in responses to the Valleyside Colleges Special Reports.
With respect to the ACCJC meeting being held in Burlingame, California on June 5-7, 2013 for the comprehensive evaluation for the Valleyside Colleges, Trustee Field requested that at a future Committee meeting the Chancellor announce the Presidents who will appear before the Commission.
Ms. Camille Goulet indicated that because the Special Report for LAVC was not presented at today’s Committee meeting, this item would be withdrawn from today’s Board agenda and moved to the Special Board meeting of
March 28, 2013 for presentation to the full Board for approval.
